Six days across the Yucatan, with cenotes. The same route on ADO coaches in hostels, with Chichen Itza on the standard mid-morning arrival.
Tulum has a beach strip and a town, and they are very different places with very different prices.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found.
Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Good value for what's included.
Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Worth every rupee.
Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for.
Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.
